Gauges

[Gbourdon]

Autometer Ultra-Lites match well, especially if you have dave B trim rings on your guages. I don't like the lighting on them though. The lighting isnt bright enough either. Can be tough to read at night sometimes.

It's too bad the SW's have that gay looking Autometer like needle. Otherwise they'd be perfect.

Ok how can a needle look gay?

 

[Dexter]

Dress it in drag? maybe put some penis stickers on it.

Ok how can a needle look gay?

probably shaped like a purple triangle, or possibly rainbow colored, or with tiny pictures of gay buttseks on it.

 

[II-Savy]

LOL those were great.


One thing though I thought of painting the end silver to match the MSP stock gauges, maybe that would make them less gay. I'm not sure about pulling apart gauges though.

 

[Dexter]

haha i wish i had my camera. i actually have extra cluster needles in my car and i could make them gay with these really tiny post it notes.

Sweet boost gauge

15psi, full sweep, that needle will be all over the place. I like it.

The oil press look only ok. short sweep, or whatever you call it for the electrical version.
EDIT:
I didn't realize only the numbers light up, that's WAY WAY cool. Much nicer than the autometer lighting.

Dude, I would bury that needle past 15 Psi to the "B" in Boost.... Do they have one that goes higher?

*cough* defi d-gauge *cough*... just personal pick... I dont like the autometer series, i've had way to many problems with faulty readings, slow reactions on their egt's, etc.

but its up to you. the d-gauge matches stock lighting pretty darn well...



this thread has some good examples...

Your my hero.

I think the new style BLM's are hotness

 

[JDM Sam]

Autometer Nexus or the Defis are the only way to go.

 

[Dexter]

Oh s*** yeah the autometer nexus are very sweet looking.

 

[daedalus]

too bad the nexus cost more than defi's... i'll stick with defi's.

I love my BLM and get major compliments...only problem is the JDM sizes (60/62mm?). So they are ******* huge to mount anywhere...so boost gauge will do now.

They look amazing except the white part in my picture showed up white becasue of the flash. It was actually purpplish (black light on white). So I dont really know what the new ones look like but I like the old green ones as well.

do they? **** that defi > autometer

 

[JDM Sam]

yup the nexus are up in price close if not more than the DEFI BFs. I might just get one for the nitrous gauge when I run the N20 sprayer. The display is just bad ass.

 

[jurgs01]

I have the Defi BF boost and Oil pressure along with the control unit II sitting in my garage. I will put them in after I get the leadfoot bezel done. It will be cool to see the blackout guages go through their sequence. I will post pics when it's all done.

 

[Brian MP5T]

Nexus does look nice. The "Alert" feature is a good idea, everything else is just a toy...
